Simple Flowers
Just a Personal Project
Objective
I haven't had the opportunity to fully showcase my illustration and drawing skills with a project yet, so I decided to create a coloring book that truly highlights my abilities. While flowers are a popular subject in coloring books, I aim to infuse my unique style into each illustration. This project not only allows me to demonstrate my artistic vision but also showcases how I interpret and depict the beauty of nature through my art.

Everything Was Digitally Hand-Drawn.
I used Procreate to draw the coloring book pages. I began by determining the dimensions and then let my creativity flow. I usually start with a single item, allowing it to evolve naturally into something else. I enjoy the concept of 'create as you go,' which leads to playful doodling and drawing. The result is a fun, creative coloring page!

Filtering Concepts: Approving or Rejecting
I established a simple system where designs that fit well and resonated with my aesthetic were approved, while those outside this scope were marked for future editions or projects.

Other Details About The Project
The 8.25 x 8.25-inch coloring book features single-sided pages to prevent bleed-through and allow easy removal for display. Research shows that coloring enthusiasts favor this format. I aimed to create a product that feels like a true, professional coloring book while incorporating my unique twist and style.
Takeaway
It's truly gratifying to see my work come to life! The biggest takeaway from this project is the realization that I could potentially sell this book and find a publisher. Although I may not pursue that route immediately, it's an option for the future. I've learned that creating a coloring book takes time and requires a lot of creativity!
